Barbara Retracts; Sides With Rosie Over Trump

61. You know what. I may not agree with everything RosieGurl does, But in this case I am with her 100%. She spoke the gospel in regard to a multi-millionaire who really is not a social icon.

Trump is an idiot for not de-thronging Tara Conner. Instead he thought with his Johnson and let her slide on behavior which was retarded and unacceptable and counter to the pagent rules. But hey; Like eveyone else, it is ok to be a f**king hoe,pig, moron, and to be rewarded for this activity. In a society where the likes of Parasite, Blohan, Britless, and Madonna claim that if you can be outrageous, rubber-necking losers will love you.

Enuf of the bubbleheads that love this crap behavior and it is about time we stop rewarding this and cut them off of all the media attention they are getting for their stupid actions.

62. Trump was simply making a bigger issue of the whole thing because his show, The Apprentice, will begin shortly. SImply put, this was FREE PUBLICITY. As the old adage goes, "there's no such thing as bad publicity."

I believe Trump has proved that to be false. The only personal attack on Trump by Rosie was his combover (and the way he mishandled the Miss USA decision).

Trump hit way below the belt. But he knew it would get on the air. He cheated. His show - along with him - needs to go away - for good.

63. OK, Barbara, so if Rosie got on the air and said, "And this is news all over the *world*, in Africa they're saying 'oonga-boonga! ooonga-boonga!!' " then you'd still stand by your friend, right? If Rosie got on the air and made fun of Jews, you'd still stand by your stupid friend, right? You have the moral compass of a bedsheet blowing in the wind. Happily embrace whatever crap comes out of Rosie's mouth as long as she doesn't offend the *politically-correct* minorities.

64. BABA WAWA DID NOT DENY SHE TOLD TRUMP SHE CANNOT STAND ROSIE. (Larry King show) I HOPE TRUMP HAS TAPE OF THAT PHONE CALL, THAN EVEYONE WILL KNOW WHAT A PHONY BABA WAWA IS....... This is karma coming back to bite her in the ass, because of how she treated Starr Jones.

65. I believe “comedians” state their opinions and are usually right-on with their comments regarding the pulse of public opinion.

Rosie is a talk host and a comedian; hence she usually gets a huge laugh because she states things that are in written in the paper or on T.V. that you and I are reading as well.

66. Barbara flip-flops like John Kerry did during his days as a Senator. She should be canned, along with that straight man hating bitch Rosie.

67. #12, are you kidding? what world do you live in where Trump is right about anything. he is the poor rich guy who can't buy looks. what a shame. he keeps picking younger and younger women, not realizing that he just looks older and older. he is a joke. and i have to question his intelligence? how creative are his insults? fat, lesbian, ugly . . . give me a break. my 3 year old does a better job of putting someone in their place.

68. That's odd, where I live Ellen is on CBS as well as Oprah. Perhaps if you could tell a syndicated show from a network show, you could also discern when a video has been removed from TMZ.

I did take the time to go re-view on youtube and in fact, there was Rosie, saying that "he's filed bankruptcy so many times" with Joy in the background saying that many were not repaid at the same time Rosie was while the guest hostess is interrupting Rosie, and then Rosie laughs at herself and essentially says "he is so gonna sue me" which Joy confirmed saying "yes, he sues!" Not once during the bankruptcy conversation did Rosie use the words "personal bankruptcy."

69. Say what you will about Rosie...she gets the job done. Many more people are starting to tune into The View because of her.

70.
I see that most people have taken Rosies side on this one. Personnnally I agree, however I believe they are both rather childish about the whole thing. I think that they have both used it to their advantage and are using it to get all of the publicity that they can out of this. It may not have started out to be but has become a publicity stunt.

72. The View has now entered the ranks of the Jerry Springer show.

73. I think everyone is forgetting something here.....who shot their mouth off first? Not only with Donald, but with Kelly Ripa and with her Asian impersonation. Seems to me like Rosie has the problem...If some of you on here don't like Donald, that is fine...but you are missing the point. Rosie has a big mouth and she opened it again. While I don't agree with the way Donald is handling it I still hold Rosie responsible. She drives me nuts on the view. She takes over the show. Poor Elizabeth can barely get a word in edgewise. Primarily because she does not have the political beliefs as Rosie and Joy, Elizabeth is not allowed to say too much. I would love to go on the show and debate ROSIE.....anytime. I don't watch the show anymore and I am sure the viewer count has gone down. It will go up for a while because of the controversy, but, it will go down again. Rosie needs to get some class....I fear it is too late.

74. And here we go again with more! I love how Rosie has kept her mouth shut the whole time and DONALD goes on and on and on and on and on and... well you get the picture.

Barbara has class when she said what she said.

And I still will completely boycott anything and everything la divo trump touches. I have already written to NBC and complained. I have sent one also to the MISS Universe and his hotels. I have not heard anything (figures as they are too much of a coward to talk to their customers). But I figure they have lost a good amount of business and when the apprentice TANKS NBC will smartly pull the plug.

75. YOU GO ROSIE!!! I have been a fan of Rosies for years. I dont always agree with what she says, but I doubt if she would agree with all that I say. All sorts of people try to beat Rosie up, and she just keeps on trucking. That proves she can roll with the punches, and for my part, I BELIEVE HER.... especially regarding TRUMP. I REFUSE to call him THE DON. The don what? The don idiot? The UGLY don? Speaking of people being ugly on the inside, TRUMP is JUST PLAIN UGLY. His fish mouth, his PULL OVER hair AND his attitude. He THINKS he is professional, he is a JOKE to ALL professionals, He cannot take criticism.!about anything he does, says or wears. Whatever. Get a CLUE trump. YOU ARE NOTHING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. You are a failure as a person, professional, and YOU INHERITED YOUR MONEY FROM YOUR HARD WORKING FATHER! You have NOT earned a penny in your lifetime.ROSIE WILL WIN THIS ,,,,,SHE is an ordinary person, and people like her. So there trump.. (thumbing my nose at him)go back that rock you climbed out of.....PJ
